SYSTEMS GLYCOBIOLOGY OF GASTRIC CANCER (GASTRICGLYCOEXPLORER)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

This ITN is built around the biological question of O-glycosylation in gastric cancer for training in systems glycobiology. For meeting the needs of the research goal and for training for future systems glycobiology operations, cross disciplinary international institutes have been identified with top level state-of-the-art glycobioanalytical, glycotechnological and glycobioinformatics platforms. T ...

NanoAthero aims to have demonstration of initial clinical feasibility of nanosystems for targeted imaging and treatment of advanced atherosclerotic disease in humans. The nanosystems are assemblies of following components: nanocarrier, targeting, imaging agent/drug. They have proven safety records, and strong preliminary in vitro and in vivo proofs of efficacy are available. Partners have patented ...

Inflammatory bowel diseases affect 0.8% of the Europeans, and are associated with high morbidity, definite mortality and an increasing economic burden. Current diagnostic tools and therapeutics for IBD are unsatisfactory. Development of biomarkers allowing insights into pathogenesis, prognosis and targeted therapy is a major unmet need. This programme addresses that need. IBD-BIOM is a multidisci ...

"Li-ion batteries become a reality in the future vehicles, although they do not fulfil completely the demands of consumers. In this respect batteries with higher energy density are required. Lithium technology utilizing sulphur as a cathode is one of the optimal choices since it offers the possibility of achieving high-energy, long-life storage batteries with a potential low price. At present, the ...

Nature not only provides inspiration for designing new materials but also teaches us how to use interparticle and external forces to structure and assemble these building blocks into functional entities. Magnetotactic bacteria and their chain of magnetosome represent a striking example of such an accomplishment where a simple living organism precisely tune the properties of inorganics that in turn ...

While heparin, a glacosaminoglycan (GAG) has served as an anticoagulant for more than 60 years, the structure-activity relationship of heparin and chondroitin sulfate for specific interactions with proteins are still poorly understood. It has become evident that defined lengths and sequences or patterns are responsible for binding to a particular protein and modulating its biological activity. De ...

This proposal aims to develop a novel type of chemistry by using hydrothermal or ionothermal reaction conditions to generate novel materials and polymers in a more sustainable fashion. Hydrothermal and ionothermal carbonization of sugars or crude biomass can lead directly to large scale carbon materials (and therefore to carbon-negative products and measures), and improvement by processing and hyb ...

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are biomolecules that have been used clinically for many years. Best known is heparin that has served as an anticoagulant in the clinic for more than 60 years. Defined GAG oligosaccharides are key to establish defined structure-activity relationships for specific interactions with proteins as a first step to modulate processes underlying viral entry, angiogenesis and dise ...

The proposed research will explore new strategies in nanomedicine and develop novel materials for drug delivery, molecular imaging, proteomics and metabolomics. The four main objectives can be summarized as nanoparticle assembly, application of nanoparticles to molecular imaging, novel ligand design for drug delivery and viral detection and inhibition. Assembly of nanoparticles into unique signa ...
